Back To The Essence by Naturally 7 Lyrics
Could it be that it was oh so simple then
Would it be impossible to do again
I'm loving that yo
So can you do that with me
Like back in the days
You know like do wop in the 50’s with that
Like you pick a guitar
You know a bop ain't a bop
If there ain't a da da
I need a bass line that can keep your attention
Cause I know what you love
And what you need an invention
Something new
So you call you tell your crew that’s how we do
Were making music with the mouth
The way they use to
Were going back to the essence
Songs and stage presence
When singers were gifted and God was uplifted
Now tell me do you wanna feel those days again
I know you want em and you em and they're
Back then
We had those melodies you sing along with
Back then
We had those lyrics you could sing with your kids
Back then
I know you love those days I did
Could it be that it was oh so simple
Back then
Hot song that means a hot dance
Back then
If it ain't broken no need to enhance
Back then
Choose a subject Life or romance
Could it be that it was oh so simple
Back then
I wish those days would come back
Like the days when I was little
I was smaller and music was bigger
Never thought I'd see the year 2g
But I'm thankful on my knees
I got the natural, (yes) the 7 (yall), funky harmonies
You know that man was my uncle
We had records a trunk full
From Earth Wind & Fire to Simon Garfunkel
Its been a long time but were gonna fix it
It's music for your soul no need to remix it
Were going back to the essence...
Back in the days I was young say bout 3 or 4
(When Curtis Blow use to flow)
Uh uh it was before
Back when Roberta Flack put her heart into the tracks
No Mp3's, No CD's, Strictly Cassettes and Wax
James Brown would break it down and put the soul in you
Nobody’s saying how they gonna put a hole in you
And I remember then, remember where we’ve been
And I say this cause I really miss the way it was back then
We use to come through and chill in the lunchroom
Beating on the table as we spit our rhymes high noon
But it was easier then it wasn't sleazier when
And we rapped in all love with a hatred of sin
Now come, come, come
There another cat up all in the Benz
Or by the poolside chilling with a bunch of women
Now tell me when does it mean a little more than nothing
I tell you where were about to take lets go
Were going back to the essence...
I wish those days would come back once more
I wish those days would never have to go
(I know you want em)
(I know you love those days we had back then)
(I know you miss em)
(you reminisce those crazy days)
Could it be so simple then
Does there always have to be an end
Could it be so simple then
I really wish those days come back again
Would it be impossible to do again
I'm loving that yo
So can you do that with me
Like back in the days
You know like do wop in the 50’s with that
Like you pick a guitar
You know a bop ain't a bop
If there ain't a da da
I need a bass line that can keep your attention
Cause I know what you love
And what you need an invention
Something new
So you call you tell your crew that’s how we do
